Default Moots YBB on eBay (or: how to post an ad)

Not affiliated with the seller, but whoa its gotta be one of the best ads I've ever seen in awhile. Content helps, too.

Check it out:

Dang, what's up with the RS Dart fork? That's like slapping spinner hubcaps on a Ferrari.

The ultimate expression of my dream bike. Too rich for my blood, though so I'll stick with my KHS Softtail design copy.

Awesome ad, though. Why the heck didn't he ride the thing though? What a waste.

Yeah, he's laying it on a little thick...but I got a laugh out of "widdled" from a block of titanium.

Yes, if you haven't read the Q&A response, seller says ..."the "trash" is clearly located in southern San Diego county."

And that's not a Judy, but a Dart, currently the Rock Shox bottom-of-the-line. You can find them on the entry-level bikes at Performance. Odd spec choice. Makes me wonder what else is not right. And he "believes" it has tubeless rims. I think he's quoting specs and Moots history from the internet, not his intimate knowledge of his dream bike.

Caveat emptor.

Lots of pics = good. It's a bit on the wordy side. Or maybe it's that the words are in prose form and I'd rather scan bullet points on something like this. But heads and shoulders above the noobs who post a three line description with no picture expecting to get top dollar.

RS Dart? After spending how many thousands of dollars on the rest of the bike? WTF.

No sh-t. And the mech brakes? May as well throw Biopace and a suspension stem on it while the seller's at it.

The only thing missing are 29" wheels. 26" = no go.

Except for the chainsuck signs on the stays. Looks close. Not a big deal, but it's there.

Ahhhhh, softail. Most of the weight of a full-suspension frame, with 3" less travel.
